Chapter 6. ETHERNET-BASED
REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT
6.1 Overview
Ethernet-based Remote Product Management of the MBT-5000 L-Band Up/Down Converter
System is available using the rear panel ‘J9 10/100 Ethernet’ port.
1) To proceed with Ethernet-based Remote Product Management, assumptions are
made that:
• The MBT-5000 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The MBT-5000 is connected to a user-supplied Windows-based PC as
follows:
o The PC’s serial port is connected to the MBT-5000 rear panel ‘J1 COM 1’
serial port with a user-supplied serial cable.
o The PC’s Ethernet port is connected to the MBT-5000 rear panel ‘J9
10/100 ETHERNET’ port with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct
Ethernet cable connection.
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
MBT-5000 serial remote control interface) and a compatible Web
browser (for operation of the MBT-5000 HTTP (Web Server) Interface).
• The MBT-5000’s Management IP Address has been noted using the
MBT-5000 Front Panel.
2) USE OF THE ETHERNET-BASED SNMP INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR
ADVANCED USERS. ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE
MBT-5000 HTTP INTERFACE FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE
MBT-5000.
